Letters Patent No. 99,772, dated Februar/rg `15, 1870.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part o f the same.

To whom 'it may concern.-

Be'it known that I, LEWIS L. GORDON, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne, and State of Michigan, have invented a new end useful Improvement in a Combined IVIop-Wringer, and scrubbing-Brush and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings ond to the letters ofreference marked thereon, and being al part of this specification, in which-4 Figure l` is a View of my combined tool when the mop is in use, with the brush.

Figure 2 is a view showing the operation of the wrnger. l

Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.

The nature of thisinvention relates to the construction of 'a combined implement for scrubbing, mopping, and wringing out the mop, without the .necessity of the operator putting her, hands into the water, or handling the cloth of which the mop is made; and It consists in the combination of. its various parts, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings-f.

A represents a rod, to which, at one end, is a proper handle, B, while the other end of said rod terminates in the mop-head 0,1150 which one end of the mop-cloth D is secured. y

cloth is extended t'o its full length; Then the opern-` tor, by turning. either ofthe handles, and holding the other one stationary, will eectually wring the water out of the mop-cloth. i

What I claim as my Improvement in mop-wringer and brush, isl The construction of the rod A, with its slide C, rod H, and its adjusting screw I,.in combination with head HG and its device for connecting vit to the brush, as

shown and described.

LEWIS L. GORDON.
